What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late May, sunset in Hither Green is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
